This invention relates to a coaster, and the object of this invention isto provide a strong and durable coaster that will permit of a personstanding up while coasting down a hill 'or inclination.

Another object of this invention is to provide acoasting frame adaptedto be person using the right or left steered by av foot.

W=h the above and other objects in view which will more readily appearas the inventiiw better understood, the same consists in the novelconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts to be presentlydescribed and then claimed.

In the drawings is shown in perspective a coaster in accordance withthis invention.

The reference numeral 1 designates two parallel runners having theforward ends thereof curved upwardly, as at 2, and connected by a crossbar 3.

i designates parallel uprights carried by the runners l .in proximity tothecurved ends thereof, said uprights having the upper ends thereofconnected by a cross bar 5,

A person is adapted to stand upon the supports 10 and grip the handle 13'of the bar 5,'and with either foot steerand guide the coaster whenmoving.

The coaster is made of strong and durable wood, or metal can be used,and while in the drawings there is illustrated the preferred embodimentsof the invention, 1 would have itunderstood' that the details ofconstruction canbe varied or changed as to the shape, proportion andmanner of assemblage without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Having now described my invention, What I claim as new, is

A coaster comprising .a pair of runners having the forward ends thereofupturned, a cross bar connecting the forward ends of said runnerstogether, an upright arranged upon each of said runners, a cross-barconnecting the upper ends .of said uprights, said last mentionedcross-bar arranged above the plane of the first mentioned cross-bar, anangularly disposed handle bar connected to the first mentioned cross-barand secured to the top of the" second mentioned cross bar, said handleprojecting rearwardly of the second mentioned 'cross bar, acurved handlesecured to the rear end of the handle bar, braces connecting saiduprights to said which can be gripped, body can rest while the runners,braces connecting the uprights together, and rearwardlyextending'suppo-rts spaced from and mounted upon said runners,
